Before that, the overtakes were way more intense, but you'd only see that kind of defensive move once per race. Honestly, I think it’s going to be a huge stretch for them to allow changing lines to defend a position, even with DRS in the mix.

But seriously, once a driver hits that DRS zone, they just flip it on and breeze right past without much resistance.
So basically, a driver stays tucked in behind someone and just waits for the DRS zone to make the overtake easy.
There's also this other thing they're bringing in next year, where TERS will be way more powerful than KERS, so TERS plus DRS equals some pretty boring racing.

Look, if you've been watching NASCAR for 12 years, then you saw 2002 and 2004. Those were actually interesting, whereas 2011 was just boring.😕

If you're saying that because Red Bull Racing was dominating, then fine, but you seriously can't claim 2002 or 2004 was more exciting.😕
Good grief, that Ford car was practically twice as dominant compared to the competition as the Red Bull Racing car was.😳
I honestly don't recall a single Red Bull Racing car lapping those near-podium guys, or races where it was just two Red Bull Racing cars and maybe one other driver in the same lap...

Back in 2002, Ford had a 1-2 finish nine times. About three-quarters of the races that season, they finished a full lap ahead of the pack, and there were even races where they were the only ones on the podium in the same lap...

And in 2004, they had eight 1-2 finishes, and again, about three-quarters of the races that year, they were finishing a lap ahead of everyone else...

Meanwhile, the Red Bull RB7 only had three 1-2 finishes, and including Malaysia, that's only 13 total...

Look, back when it was V10 engines and there was no Hybrid technology or DRS, the sport was exciting. There was more strategy and intense overtaking. Ever since they introduced DRS and Hybrid technology, passing has become too easy because drivers aren't allowed to block those trying to pass. That’s why 2011 was the most boring, while 2012 was actually pretty good. We'll see about 2013.😁

In my opinion, the best races of the season are Monaco and Dubai.
I've been watching NASCAR for 12 years now, and I haven't seen a season as exciting as 2011.
Anyway, let's focus on China.
What are your thoughts on the results?

neonfox65 said:You think it would be boring—is that because of Red Bull Sebastian Vettel?

Haha, well, since it's about Ferrari, I guess I'm thinking about Red Bull.
If Sebastian Vettel just dominates everything, I probably won't even bother watching the 2013 season.

We'll see 😁
I just hope the season doesn't end up being boring.

It would be great if Felipe Massa showed some of that grit he had back in 2008.
Sebastian Vettel just isn't going to beat Fernando Alonso for the win here.😁
I just hope we don't see one driver dominating everything; I actually preferred it when we had seven different winners in seven races.
Besides, China is a fantastic track—really unpredictable.
The circuit has two DRS zones, one on the main straight and the other on the following section.

Hey guys, feel free to keep the discussion going.

Well, obviously dude 😁
I guess you can see my thread is better than his

Let's open up the floor for some discussion on this topic.
In my opinion, the greatest driver to ever live was Ayrton Senna.
My favorite team back in the day was Jordan.

I guess I'll go ahead and lock this thread

Episode 10 is probably my absolute favorite with Hakkinen xD
The others aren't bad either, I guess 😁
They're definitely the kind of cartoons that work for both kids and adults

A little discussion regarding the McLaren Racing designers 🙂

It's a shame about Force India, too.

Let's shift our attention over to Ferrari and Force India now.
Ferrari will likely unveil their "old" car, though there's a chance Force India might actually pull off a surprise.😁

Imagine McLaren wearing a Dallas Cowboys logo xD
Where will the broadcast be on?

Oh, thanks 🙂
I was usually getting about 5 to 8 hours a night, which felt okay 🙂
I guess I might have gone a little over occasionally, but I never really hit more than 9 or 10 hours 🙂
Man, that’s such a huge weight off my shoulders 😂
THANK YOU 🙂

I started 🙂
From June through early August, I was on my computer for about five to seven hours a day, though I guess I did spend up to ten hours on it a couple of times.
Now I'm feeling pretty anxious about it, so I suppose you guys might know if I should go see a doctor for a checkup?
Also, there are people I know who are constantly on their computers for eight hours at a time.

Get away from there; I know certain cancer symptoms can be easily overlooked.
I don't have any of those symptoms, though.
The only thing is some chest pain, but I've had that for about four years now.
I guess I have this lingering fear, so maybe it would be better to get a quick checkup, but I really don't think I have anything.
The only other thing is that my head hurts a little when I sit at the computer, but I've cut my screen time down to just two or three hours a day lately.🙂
What do you guys think?
Also, I'm 16.

I mean, it doesn't even hurt me, and I'm getting used to life without it anyway, so I won't be getting it back xD
Thanks for the reply 🙂
